Services for libraries

The ZBW – Leibniz Information Centre for Economics makes its experience, work and services available to other academic libraries. Through services, professional exchange and collaborative engagement, the ZBW supports libraries in providing tailored support to researchers, lecturers and students. After all, effective information provision and research support are best achieved through cooperation. Only by working together can we, as academic libraries, strengthen Germany as a centre of scholarship.

Under Tools, you will find services and specialist information on the organisation and provision of academic information. These include information organisation with metadata management, the STW Thesaurus for Economics and automation of subject indexing, digital preservation, and the ZBW Consortium for the joint licensing of economic information sources.
